Our customers are the focus of our operations, therefore we are building a long-term strategic partnership and cooperation with them. is a vertically integrated holding company, the leading SIJ manufacturer in Slovenia, and one of the largest stainless and special steel manufacturers in Europe. SIJ Group consists of the two largest steel companies in Slovenia (Acroni and Metal Ravne), other manufacturing and processing companies (Ravne Knives, Elektrode, SUZ), specialized service and sales centers across Europe and the USA, and companies for scrap steel collection and sales.

SIJ Group is the pillar of the steel industry in Slovenia and one of the largest business systems in the country. The Group generates more than 85 percent of its total income from foreign market sales. During the last year, SIJ has strengthened its position in both, domestic market and key European export markets, increasing its global competiveness mainly in segments of stainless and special steel.

The key levers of the Group’s sustainable growth are adapting to customer needs, the optimization of key product groups (production mix), and numerous consolidation and operation optimization measures. At the same time, SIJ Group continues increasing its share of products with higher added value, entering more demanding industrial sectors and industries, e.g. energy generation (also from renewable energy sources), nuclear industry, oil and gas industry, and aviation. The company estimates that they will also significantly contribute to the future growth in demand for stainless and special steel in Europe and worldwide. This is how SIJ Group, in cooperation with its strategic partners, continues to build its reputation as one of the most prominent stainless and special steel suppliers in Europe.

19 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT THE STEELMAKING TRADITION WE TAKE PRIDE IN, CAN BE PRESERVED AND UPGRADED ONLY THROUGH DYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT.

Our Research&Development departments carry out metallurgical research, develop new products, and implement and optimize new technologies.

For the production of high-quality products, we have to closely observe the development of new steels and technologies across the world. The latest developments are quickly introduced into our production. The extent of our development achievements is wide and dynamic; they involve new steels, new products, new and improved technologies and faster manufacturing procedures. Our development achievements ensure us a competitive advantage over our rivals.

Incorporation into a partner development network represents a vital part of our research and development. On the one hand, this means a closer cooperation with the top-level knowledge and development institutions, while on the other hand, we enjoy development cooperation with the development departments held by our partners - customers as well as competent consulting.

We have the latest research equipment at our disposal, along with mechanical and chemical laboratories as well as laboratory heat treatment facilities.

We are building a database covering the properties of our steels and perform inspections also for external clients.

Our development departments employ a team of highly competent experts, which has been constantly upgraded since our bold development goals are set on a long-term basis.

21 QUALITY ASSURANCE OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO BE A SUCCESSFUL COMPANY WITH SENSITIVE COMMITMENT TOWARDS THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE OPERATE.

Modern chemical, mechanical and metallographic laboratories, professionally trained and skilled personnel and our long term experience enable us to carry out the quality policies set, with all 5 production companies within the group certified according to EN ISO 9001:2008 standard.

Employees form the basic cell of our company and at the same time its major asset. Ensuring a safe working place is one of the principle rights, duties and responsibilities of all our employees. Therefore we are introducing the system of safety and health at work OHSAS 18001:2007 into the central strategy of both steel mills, Acroni and Metal Ravne.

We take care about environment, contributing to its sustainability by conforming to applicable regulatory requirements and by achieving continual improvement of our plants environmental performance according to ISO 14001:2004 standard.

23 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. EMPLOYEES ARE OUR CRUCIAL ASSET.

Socially responsible behaviour is an integral part of our business operations. We are aware that a responsible attitude towards our narrow and broader environment is of extreme importance for the present and future existence of our company.

The company is committed to comply with legal regulations in the field of environment protection. We continue with reductions of our emissions, provide for a rational consumption of energy carriers and water, systematically measure environmental influences and keep the public informed.

Employees are our crucial asset. By introducing safe technologies into our production, we eliminate and reduce risks in our labour environment, systematically monitor and reduce a negative impact on health. We are continuously building favourable interrelationships among our employees, encourage innovations and personal progress. We develop the awareness that education, training and information are our basic rights, duty and responsibility.

In the view of our social responsibility, our company remains open and helpful for our local environment when building and maintaining the infrastructure, implementing sports and cultural activities.
